MY DAY ON A PLATE

Written By

With the knowledge behind me as a certified personal trainer and qualified nutrition coach, I am in good tune with my body and I eat foods that my body feels good eating and can digest well! I am always eager to learn more, and experiment new ways on myself to see if it’s something that may suit me. But remember, what I eat might not be the golden pathway for you. We are all different and respond differently to foods.

My key steps to eating for results

If you are trying to achieve something specific you need to first set a realistic fitness/ health goal. Then take action. Having an understanding of your own body and it’s needs, what nutrients work best for you, what is healthy, what is not, supplements that suits your specific needs and portion sizing right for you. Consistent healthy choices backed by knowledge is the key to getting sustainable results and maintaining a fit physique. Don’t go for the quick- fix solution, focus on learning and understanding yourself and then make healthy changes. Never stop learning.

My day on a plate

Here is an example of what I eat is a day. Bare in mind; I don’t eat the same thing everyday, I may eat similar things day to day but I like to mix things up. I eat mostly a pescetarian diet, as that works well with my body, but I do eat other meats on occasion too. I limit processed foods and added sugars- although I do admit that I am the biggest sweet tooth and love to indulge in candy and chocolates on occasion. I do eat mainly very healthy though and I try and eat as much fresh, real foods as possible- and use supplements to enhance nutrient intake that fit my needs.

I will have Apple cider vinegar first thing in the morning in a big glass of water with some squeezed lemn juice. I have recently found it convenient to mix in my supergreens and water soluble supplements into the mix also. I also have a quick on- the- go meal before I leave the house, tis morning a piece of pre-made frittata.

I typically have breakfast after I have trained a couple of clients. I have gone decaf for a while to decrease my stimulant intake. This is good to do once in a while if you ted to take pre-workout and drink lots of coffee.

During resistance training session- 11.30 am I have BCAA’s whilst I train (and sometimes throughout the day) to help with muscle recovery, support protein synthesis, give me some energy whilst I train etc… and they taste amazing
